Rear kitchens = porpoising?
A fifth wheel salesman told us today that rear kitchens cause porposing due to the heavy weight on the back. Is this true?

Ask what the pin weight is and then ask if it's significantly different from a non-rear bath unit. They created the hook, time to set it.
It's poppy-****..
It's true that anything away from the "lever" of the axles will experience some up/down movement - the farther away, the more extreme the movement. This can shake stuff loose.
5th wheels have thousands of pounds (typically) on the nose. As long as they have pin weight, load the back up.
Another question you might ask them to explain is how the guys in toy-haulers make due when they're hauling 4 x 4-wheelers, which easily weigh more than a bathroom.
